Where's the beer???? :eek:

cscgal: how is it possible to reduce something "by as much as 500 to 1000%"?

leelee: now it will take a negative amount of time to execute. Twilight zone, here we come :mrgreen:

Actually, I think she meant increase the speed by that much.

I use this to make executable files from PHP files. I mean, you run the code in something such as DOS, but at least it works. I use it when I don't have a PHP server in hand.

Found this:

not really to protect scripts for commerce, but packages compiled scripts with the php-interpreter.

There are good reasons to encode php scripts. These may include: protecting intellectual property for distribution, licensing, protecting scripts from being manipulated or changed, and increasing performance.

Check out these packages:
Source Guardian
Php Cipher
PHP Shield
Nu-Coder
Byte Run
SourceCop

I wonder how did you dig out that old thread. The question was asked 3 years ago.

The question may have been asked 3 years ago, but the information is still in the search engines. It is never a bad time to add additional information.

cool !

Sure you can

To make PHP a Windows or Linux binary to execute offline, you can use roadsend, then double click the resulting exe (in the windows case), you can also embed a tiny web server in that exe (ships with roadsend)! or compile it as console application

To make your code not readable by humans and still run on your LAMP setup, you can use the encode feature of the free eaccelerator (encoder has been depreciated i think so you can only use an OLDER version)

A lower priced nice solution is ioncube, it is very good

Also need to mention that in IONCUBE and eaccelerator's case, reverse compiling your code is not impossible... it has to live in a stack in memory as opcode to run, and someone with plenty of experience and time (Experience and free time don't usually come together) can decompile it, she will not end up with your exact code, variables will have different names like (variable1 and variable2) but in general, if you don't write a hit operating system no one invests that much time cracking your code, it might be easier to rewrite it.
